Perhaps it's a good thing that use can be made of Upper and Lower case 
letters to change the meaning of a word if that's the objective, for example 
a 'bird' is a feathered beastie while a 'Bird' is quite a different entity - 
but I'll refrain from further comment. Please don't quote me to my English 
cousins but it's been claimed by English academics that the best English is 
or was spoken in Scotland, in the region of the Black Isle so named because 
of the large number of witches who lived there. Their written spells made 
full use of the apostrophe, so be warned if it's to be thought of as an 
aberration!
